8 Welcome from the Event Director Welcome to the 10th Anniversary of the newly named KPMG Lamma International Dragon Boat Festival 2016! There were so many reasons for us to start this race 10 years ago, but most of all we wanted to contribute to the paddling community and to hold a race where we work hard on officiating. There have been so many obstacles over the years, but this has only made the event bigger and better. We are now celebrating our 10th anniversary and long may the Lamma 500 event continue. It really is a pleasure to do. We are delighted to announce a new title sponsor this year, a huge thank you to KPMG Hong Kong for supporting this year s event. Thank you to Anson Bailey, Joyce Ng and Matthew Fenwick for all your support and confidence in the Lamma 500. I d also like to thank Warren Phillips, Anita Chau and Fulton Mak from KPMG for helping to make the partnership run so smoothly and I hope to work together for the years to come. KPMG has enabled us to again hold the event this year. I d like to welcome back, Damien Laracy from Hill Dickinson. Damien has been the backbone of support for nine years. It is a pleasure to continue to call the under 18 cup, the Damien Laracy Cup. Thanks again Damien. It is our pleasure to welcome returning teams and new teams to the festival! To our overseas teams: the returning DNA Dragons (Thanks Berman Ng for all your efforts), Guangzhou International Dragonboat Club, and KPMG Singapore, I hope you enjoy a successful day of racing and also enjoy your stay in Hong Kong. We are dedicated to running a greener event. Last year we stopped giving away bottled water and replaced this with water stations for free refills with reusable bottles. We also have dedicated bins for different types of rubbish that get collected after the event and taken to recycling houses. This year, we continue to go GREEN; we have gone paperless with the official event programme. This means that there is much less paper wastage and it also means the programme will reach a wider audience, with the help of our media outlets. We hope to encourage other events to follow these environmentally friendly initiatives that are essential for a greener Hong Kong. Thanks greatly to our growing number of sponsors and supporters. Thank you again KPMG, and our long supporting sponsors; Hill Dickinson in Association with Laracy & Co., and Hongkong Electric Company Ltd, A to A, Carlsberg, Gatorade, Pepsi, St John s Ambulance, Escapade Sports, Hong Kong & Kowloon Ferry Holdings Limited, EBM Consulting, Lamma Grill, Jackson Property, Liberty Insurance, Toi Toi Toilets, Lamma-zine and Highlife Trading Company Limited. I d like to also thank our new sponsors this year too: Art Futures Group and Louella Odié, and a special thanks to our new marketing partners Localiiz and Lime. I d also like to thank the Lamma Dragons Dragon Boat Club, The Lamma Island Fisherman s Recreation and Sports Association, and The Lamma (North) Dragon Boat Association for their continued support. A very special thanks to Mike Tanner returning as our Chief Official, Amy Wong who does amazing work for the event, Katie McGregor and her support with Localiiz, Kevin Bishop for his technical support and the continued support from officials and volunteers who are listed on the acknowledgement page. Without the expertise and support from these people, there couldn t be a Lamma 500. As organisers of the Lamma 500, we pride ourselves on running the event to a very high standards of officiating and racing. We have very experienced and competent timekeepers, course setters, officials, judges and helms. We ensure a competition that is fair to all teams and strive to stay on schedule. Finally, I d especially like to thank Gina Miller. Gina has worked tirelessly for the Lamma 500 from the very beginning in She is an outstanding race convenor and the best event partner you could wish for. Thank you Gina for all the work that you do to help make the event the success it is today. Have a fantastic day! Brad Tarr Event Director

11 7 Message from the Chief Official The KPMG Lamma International Dragon Boat Festival 2016 reaches a significant milestone this year with its 10th anniversary. Over these ten years the Organising Committee and Race Officials have very successfully built the event from its newcomer status on the Hong Kong dragon boat calendar to a must-do race for teams looking for exciting and fair racing in a relaxed and friendly environment. Our experienced Race Officials include many who have been with the Lamma 500 since its first year. Their aim is to ensure that teams can race to the best of their ability within the Rules. They need the co-operation of all teams to achieve this and we seek your support to make this 10th Annual Laracy & Co. Lamma International Dragon Boat Festival 2016 a great success for everyone. I wish you all good racing and a wonderful day on Lamma Island!

12 Message from the Race Convener Dear Paddlers and Guests, Welcome to our Tenth Annual KPMG Lamma International Dragon Boat Festival! This year we are delighted to offer a Green Event, as we have decided to no longer provide individual (disposable) water bottles instead, we have arranged a water station and the sale of reusable water bottles for those who do not have their own. We have also moved our race programme online and away from paper. You have obviously found us here at Localize, and we are delighted to make the change! In other news: Our Premier Mixed Category continues to draw the largest numbers. Forty-eight teams have entered the division and it remains the most hotly contested race of the day. This year, we have 11 Open Men s crew and building strength on strength 14 Women s crews. In addition, our Mixed Youth (12-17 years) race has increased in length, with youth teams running the full 500m course. Today s race schedule is based on a worst case time table, which means that our Marshalls and team officials will be pushing each race out as early as we possibly can. The goal is to win more time to party at the end of the day and make great use of our beer tent and celebrate 10 years of amazing races! I would like to thank all of our teams who have returned to our event each year. It is your support that has helped the Lamma 500 grow to become one of the most popular, family friendly and inclusive events on the calendar. 親愛的選手和客人 : 歡迎蒞臨第十屆畢馬威南丫國際龍舟節 今年, 我們決定舉辦一個綠色的活動, 包括不再提供即棄瓶裝水, 改為設置供水站, 各位可自備水壺或於當日購買水壺前往供水站補充飲水 同時, 我們不再印製比賽時間表手冊, 各位可自行上網查閱 我們相信您願意和我們一起為這塊土地做出改變 今年卓越混合組參賽隊伍多達 48 隊, 此一組別會是當日比賽的重頭戲 與此同時,11 隊男子公開組和越來越強的 14 隊女子組亦報名參賽 除此之外, 今年的青年混合組 (12~17 歲 ) 賽程也加長到 500 米 我們的比賽時間表是一個 最壞打算 的安排, 裁判和工作人員會儘快整隊出賽, 以便爭取更長的時間開派對, 暢飲啤酒和歡渡十週年 謝謝多年參與南丫國際龍舟節的隊伍, 是你們的支持使得南丫 500 成為一項受歡迎的, 合家歡的全面性的年度活動 比賽召集人 Gina Miller 通告比賽召集人 Gina Miller race CONVENOR

34 1,000 Metre Race Rules & Procedure The 1,000m race is optional for all teams with a prize CUP AWARDED to First, Second and Third place in the Open Men s, Women s and Mixed Premier categories. Boats will be lined up in order of their numbers. Crews will be directed to their race boats by the Marshals, and Boat Handlers will hold the boats at the beach until the starter calls them forward. Crews will paddle around the exterior of the racecourse (counterclockwise) for a distance of 1,000 metres. 1. Boats will start the race two- to three (2-3) metres to the right-hand side of Lane 1 and proceed up the course (to the right of Lane 1) to the flag that marks the turning position near the top of the lane; 2. Boats will turn left at the marker near the top of Lane 1 and paddle outside the two large marker buoys positioned between lanes 1 and 7 of the course; 3. Boats will then make their second, and final, left-hand after the second large buoy and to race towards the beach. Note: after the second large buoy turn, teams may race in inside our outside Lane 7; their only limitation is to leave reasonable clear water between boats (subject to judge s decision). It is up to the Team Captain to be advised of this starting procedure and to check if the steersperson understands the turning process. If there are any questions, they should be put to the Chief Official, Mike Tanner, at least one hour in advance of the race start. More information on the start-time procedure are in section B, below. A) GENERAL INFORMATION: l l l l The Racing Course: The Racing Course is circulatory, with two straight sections and two turns in one circuit of the Course (see Map). Racing shall take place in an anti-clockwise direction. Crews are not permitted to race on the inside of the buoys marking the left hand edge of the Racing Lane. A Crews position in a Line of Racing: Crews must steer a straight course down the Line of Racing during the whole of the race, except when overtaking. Distance from turning buoys on over-take: The Steerer/Helm, when not overtaking another boat, is responsible for maintaining a distance of two- to three (2-3) metres from the buoys on the boat s left (port) side, to allow crews who may be overtaking on the port side to have as much clear water as possible. Clear Water rules. Crews taking other Lines of Racing to overtake must observe a clear water rule between boats. If a crew does not keep at least 1-metre of clear water between boats, and in so doing, causes any other boat(s) to steer an unreasonably wide course to maintain their Line of Racing or avoid a collision, then a Time Penalty of 5-10 seconds may be awarded by the Chief Official. When a crew that is being overtaken alters its course and makes difficulties for the overtaking boat, the Chief Official may award the same Time Penalties. B) STARTING PROCEDURES AND FORMATS: Boats shall be started at intervals, that is, a staggered start. The starter shall call each boat forward, and count them down to their start. The first crew should be positioned on the right of the line looking up the course and 2-3-metres to the right of the lane marker. B1. INTERVAL COUNTING PROCEDURE: a. All boats will line up as per the Marshals instructions, one following another; b. Boats shall paddle to the start line on the Marshal s instructions and in the order of their boat numbers. Failure to comply with Marshals directions may result in a time penalty, applied at the discretion of the Chief Official; c. The Starter will call Boat 1 to the start line. At the starter s call, the boat will come forward and the starter will count down from 10 seconds (or 15 seconds if conditions are rough); the boat must cross the start line within those 10 seconds; d. The starter will call Boat 2 to the start line immediately after Boat Number 1 has crossed the line, and the count down will start again. The starter will count down from 10 (or 15 seconds if conditions are rough) seconds immediately following the previous boat s start. e. This process will be repeated for all the remaining race boats. B2. CLARIFICATION OF STARTING POSITION & EARLY STARTS: On the Start command, the first crew shall begin. Crews may cross the start line before the starter completes his countdown, without penalty. A crews time will begin when they cross the line. B3. LATE AT THE START: Failure to be at the Start Line on time will not prevent the Starter from starting the next crew in the line. If it takes more than the 10-count of the starter to cross the line, the extra time will be added to the crew s overall time around the course, ie: time will be taken from the end of the 10-second count. (Exceptions may be considered at the Umpire or Chief Official s discretion. Note: The time interval between each crew starting shall be determined by the prevailing water and weather conditions D1. OVERTAKING: Overtaking can be carried out to the left of the boat being overtaken, except when the width of the Racing Lane allows crews to overtake in clear water to the right of the boat (see rule C1 below). A boat is judged to be in the process of overtaking when the Head of the overtaking boat is level with or has passed the Steerer/Helm in the boat being overtaken. C1. Overtaking on the right (starboard side) is restricted to the first 300 metres (prior to first turn) or last 400 metres (after second turn) of a race. C2. When approaching a Turn, overtaking is only permitted on the left (portside) of the boat being overtaken. The crew being overtaken must give way and allow clear water to the overtaking crew. C3. A crew overtaking on the right (outside) of another boat must hold their station (maintain course) and keep clear water, with the boat they are overtaking until the approaching turn has been negotiated, after which time they can complete the overtaking manoeuvre. C4. A boat about to be overtaken must not alter its Line of Racing once the Head of the overtaking boat is level with or has passed the Steerer/ Helm in the boat being overtaken. C5. When overtaking or being overtaken, Steerers must maintain a minimum of 1-metre of clear water between the paddles of their own boat and other boats in the race. C6. If, in the opinion of the Chief Official, any racing manoeuvre by an overtaking crew, or a lack of clear water between boats, has endangered the safety of another crew, or materially affected the result of the race, the offending crew shall be disqualified from the race. C7. A crews race time that has been adversely affected by the actions of another crew, that is, when a course Umpire or Chief Official has confirmed that time has been lost through an obstruction or

35

36 impediment of the crew concerned, a Time Deduction Bonus, of up to 20 seconds, may be awarded. D2. TURNING: Steerers are to ensure that Turning Point buoys are kept on the left side of the boat. That is: the boat must pass to the right of all the buoys and not inside any Turning Buoy. D1. A crew will not be disqualified for touching a Turn Buoy, or for having less than two- to three (2-3) metres of clear water between the boat and the buoy, unless in the opinion of a Course Umpire or Chief Official, a material advantage has been gained or the safety of any crew undertaking the turn, at the same time, has been compromised. D2. When more than one crew is making a turn, at the same Turning Point, then a crew on the outside line must leave room for a crew on an inside line to follow the line of the turning point buoys in safety. That is: clear water between the paddles in adjacent boats, must be maintained around the turns. D3. Similarly a crew on an inside line must not make difficulties for a crew holding station on an outside line by, for example, steering wide around the Turning Point. If in the opinion of the Chief Official a crew has not attempted to steer in a safe manner around a turn, then Time Penalties may be awarded against the offending crew(s). D4. Last 400m. When a crew has completed its final turn and is in the last 400m straight of the race, it may overtake on either side of another boat, provided that clear water is given to any other boat on the Racing Course. The crew has finished the race when the foremost part of the boat (dragon head) crosses the line. D3. IMPEDING / COLLISIONS: If during the course of the race a boat impedes or collides with another boat the Chief Official shall apportion blame. If the Chief Official decides that a boat has impeded the forward motion of another boat, or that the crew in the impeded boat had, by necessity, to stop paddling; then a Time Penalty of up to thirty (30) seconds may be awarded to the impeding crew. A Time Bonus may also be awarded to the impeded boat. If a collision occurs between two boats, the Chief Official may choose to allow the boat that is not at fault to race again in a later heat. The boat responsible for the collision will not re-race. D4. COURSE UMPIRES: To assist the Chief Official in implementing these rules and other Rules of Racing in general, Course Umpires will be positioned on the Racing Course to afford full observation and supervision of the crews in the race. A boat will be stationed inside each Turning Point to observe the crews negotiating the Turn Buoys. D5. CREW TIMES, PLACINGS AND THE race WINNERS: As a staggered start is used, the Start Times (based on intervals, not when the boats pass the start line marker) will be compared against the Finish Times recorded for crews. The resulting Time Differential will be used to calculate a crew s actual Race Time. Any race Time Penalties incurred by a crew will then be added to give a crew its Gross Race Time. NO PROTESTS WILL BE ALLOWED FOR THIS RACE; ALL DECISIONS OF THE CHIEF OFFICIAL ARE FINAL.

To reiterate: once a team has been issued its first warning for jumping, any second offence of this nature, at any point in the day, will result in disqualification for that race. 6. Race Conduct 6.1 The proper course for each boat is a straight line from its starting position to a correspoding point on the finish line. Each boat must remain in its allocated lane and must not interfere with other boats. 6.2 From the moment the crew line up and get ready for a start until they cross the finish line, the steersman must keep the blade of the steering rudder in the water. 6.3 All paddlers and the drummer shall sit and remain in their designated seats throughout the race and the drummer should hold drumstick(s) in hand and actively drum during the race. 6.4 Boats should not pass outside the buoys marking the edge of the course. 6.5 In the event of a boat failing to keep to its proper course and thereby interfering with the course of another boat which is on its proper course, or in the event of a collision between two or more boats, the

41 37 Race Controller may, after consultation with the Umpire, disqualify the offending boat or boats. The rest of the boats will re-row the races, according to the following arrangement: If the interference happened after the starting signal and before the race is half-finished, all boats will re-row the race. The offending boats may be disqualified from the re-row, depending on the Race Controller and Umpire s decision If the interference happened after the race course is halfcompleted by at least two boats; and if the boats finishing position is affected, only the boats affected by the interference will re-row the race depending on the Race Controller and Umpire s decision. If, in the opinions of the Race Controller and Umpire, interference does not affect the position of the boats, results will stand. 6.6 When, in the opinion of an Umpire or the Race Controller, a boat has been swamped or capsized deliberately by the crew, the Organiser reserves the right to refuse such crew s entry in future races and impose a penalty of HK$1,000 on the organisation entering the crew. 6.7 When, in the opinion of the Race Controller, the Umpire or any Crew Marshal, a boat is damaged deliberately by the crew, the Organiser reserves the right to impose a penalty of HK$5,000 on the organisation entering the crew. The Organiser also reserves the right to demand such organisation to pay for the total cost of repair to the damaged boat. 7. Finishes 7.1 The finishing Line is defined by two designated marks at the starboard-end and the port-end finishing line of the race course. Any buoys set between are for defining the race course only and cannot be regarded as the finish line. 7.2 Boats finish the race when the front-most part of the boat passes through the finishing line. 7.3 The finishing order of a race and the time taken by each boat will be determined by the Finishing Judges whose decision shall be final. 7.4 Each boat must immediately stop paddling and slow down after the bow of the boat has crossed the finishing line. If a boat is damaged, or an accident is caused, as a result of any team failing to slow down after crossing the finishing line, the team will be disqualified. 7.5 Each crew must return immediately to the Crew Assembly Area and disembark after the race. Teams must not run their boats onto the beach. Any crew that runs its boat onto the beach may be subject to a $1,000 fine. The Organiser reserves the right to demand any organization to pay for the total cost of repairs should any boat be damaged as a result of running it onto the beach. 7.6 The number of crew in a boat passing the Finish Line must be the same as the number of crew that embarked on the boat in the same race. Any mismatch will mean the team is disqualified. 7.7 A boat that capsizes while racing will be considered as unable to complete the race and will be disqualified. No re-race will be arranged. 8. Protests 8.1 Eligibility of Protest Protests against finishing results and race equipment will not be accepted. 8.2 Protest Evidence Not Acceptable Photographic evidence of any form about an alleged breach of a rule given by competitors will not be accepted. 8.3 Lodging a Protest Any protest shall be lodged by the team captain or team leader with the Race Officer on duty at the Race Control within fifteen (15) minutes of the end of the relevant race. Only the captain of the protesting team may make the protest to race officials. The Race Officer may invite the steersman of the protesting team to discuss the problem, at the Race Officer s own discretion only. No person other than the team captain is allowed to lodge a protest. 8.4 Protest Hearing If the Race Committee accepts a protest and decides that a hearing is required, it will immediately notify any other party involved and open the protest hearing to discuss the protest. The result will be announced within 30 minutes of the conclusion of the hearing. The protest decision issued by the protest committee will be the final result. 9. Equipment/Accessories 9.1 All boats and paddles used by competitors shall be provided by the Organiser. The allocation of boats and paddles to individual crews shall be at the sole discretion of the Organiser. Paddlers are welcome to use their own paddles as long as they are IDBF approved and bear the IDBF sticker as evidence on the paddle. The Organiser will not be responsible for any failure of equipment during a race and each crew is advised to carefully check the boat and paddles allocated to it before racing. 9.2 No modifications or additions to the boat or the equipment within the boat may be made or carried out by any competitors or crews. In particular: (a) Any pad or device for the rower to sit on should be of flexible material to the extent that it should be able to be folded over double and should not be thicker than two inches uncompressed. (b) No equipment for removing water from the boat is permitted except plastic hand-held bailers with which the water is picked up and scooped out of the boat by a crew member. No pumps of any kind are permitted. (c) No electrical, electronic or radio amplifying equipment of any kind is permitted in the boat. 10 Race Conduct 10.1 Conduct of Crews and Teams Crews must follow the directions of the Race Officials at all times during the race. All Team Leaders shall monitor the behaviour of their team members to observe this rule Conduct of Crews Any Dragon Boat Crew or competitor who attempts to win a race by other than honourable means, or who deliberately breaks the Racing Rules, or who disregards the honourable nature of the rules shall face disqualification from the race Abusive Language A Dragon Boat Crew shall not use abusive language towards any Race Officials.
